According to a report in The Times Of India, Karnika, who contacted animal activist Aparna Modak, said:

Abhishek took away the pup in his car and despite my repeated attempts, his mother did not give me his telephone number.

Aparna was coming to the society along with fellow-activist Dinesh Zile when they spotted Abhishek kicking 'something' around 11 p.m.

Dinesh told TOI:

On seeing that the person was repeatedly following the action, I stopped the car and turned back. But the person, who I later identified as Ingle, fled. The object he was kicking was a pup which was dead and lying dismembered.
